SOC Review

The Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 18, Reporting on an Examination of Controls at a
Service Organization (AICPA, Professional Standards, AT-C Section 320) is an attestation standard that establishes
the requirements and guidance for reporting on controls at a service organization relevant to user entities’
internal control over financial reporting. By engaging an independent CPA to examine and report on a service
organization’s controls, service organizations can respond to meet the needs of their user entities and obtain an
objective evaluation of the effectiveness of controls that address operations and compliance, as well as financial
reporting at those user entities.

CoNetrix successfully completed a SOC 1 Type 2 review, conducted based on SSAE 18 requirements, for its Virtual
Cloud and Exchange Hosting Services. Annual third-party audits are conducted on Aspire IT Hosting services to
ensure the security of sensitive information.
